Caution
Never depress the accelerator pedal repeat-
edly or hold it down completely during start-
ing. The engine will not start easily.

and its heat of vaporization may freeze the
regulator and damage the engine.
Starting the Engine
(Gasoline/LPG Models)
If the ambient temperature is sufficiently high,
start the engine the same way as you would start
the engine of LPG models. If the temperature is
very low and starting the engine is difficult with
LPG fuel, set the fuel switch to the GAS posi-
tion and start the engine. Change the fuel set-
ting to the LPG position after the engine becomes
hot (stop the engine first).
1. Set the fuel switch to the GAS position.
2. Start and warm up the engine as you would
start and warm up an ordinary gasoline engine.
See the other Operator's Manual for engine start-
ing procedures.
3. Set the fuel switch to the OFF position and
let the engine stop naturally.
4. Set the fuel switch to the LPG position and
start the engine again as you would start the en-
gine of LPG models.
Caution
Never change the fuel switch setting from
GAS to LPG positions while the engine is run-
ning. It will increase the engine rpm sharply
and cause a serious damage to the engine.
To prolong the Engine Life
Refrain from handling and driving the vehicle
roughly especially when it is new.

sion, you must follow these rules:

proved areas.

ing parts.
• Check for leaks.

• If truck will not restart, get a mechanic to
inspect it.
• Filling tanks requires special procedures.
Make sure someone explains them all to you.
